I'm not shocked but I am quite peeved. Naturally the government would side with landowners - the rest of us are too poor. Additionally, England has quite the history of gating off spaces (parks and the like) for the upper classes and restricting access for the common people.

So it's not shocking. But irksome nonetheless.
- Absolutely right. Even in towns and cities there have been (and still are) gardens and open spaces that are locked up to prevent access.
